• The Power of “Not Enough”: Turning Setbacks, Rejection and Waiting into Purpose

  Moments of rejection, loss or unmet expectations can quietly convince even high-performing leaders that they are “not enough.” In this deeply reflective and empowering keynote, Devika Brij Maurice challenges that narrative by reframing inadequacy not as a failure, but as an invitation to purpose, clarity and growth.

  Drawing from her own career inflection point and faith-informed leadership journey, Devika helps audiences understand how seasons of waiting, rejection and uncertainty can shape conviction rather than erode confidence. This session equips individuals to navigate disappointment without losing identity, to lead with integrity under pressure and to trust that purpose is often revealed through what didn’t work out.

  Blending personal storytelling with practical insight, this keynote resonates with audiences navigating transition, opposition or unanswered questions, reminding them that resilience is not about proving worth, but about leading well when outcomes are uncertain.

• When Hard Work Isn't Enough

  Many women are taught, implicitly or explicitly, that success comes from over-delivering, staying agreeable and waiting to be recognized. While hard work matters, proving yourself endlessly often leads to burnout rather than advancement. In this empowering keynote, Devika Brij Maurice challenges the pressure women feel to earn belonging and instead equips them to lead and advocate with clarity, confidence and conviction.

  Drawing from her experience advising global organizations and working with high-performing women across industries, Devika reframes leadership as influence, not exhaustion. She offers practical strategies for communicating value, navigating expectations and setting boundaries without sacrificing ambition. Grounded in purpose-driven leadership and resilience, this session helps women move from survival to sustainability and from visibility to impact.

  Ideal for: women’s leadership conferences, corporate women’s initiatives, ERGs, professional associations, and organizations committed to developing strong female leaders.

• The Marketplace Mantle: Aligning Calling, Work and Influence

  For many professionals, faith and work are treated as separate callings. Yet Scripture shows that God often awakens purpose in the very places we feel overlooked, stretched or refined. In this faith-centered keynote, Devika Brij challenges the notion that calling is confined to pulpits or platforms and invites audiences to see their work as an assignment with spiritual weight.

  Drawing from her journey as a leader, entrepreneur and woman of faith, Devika teaches that how we lead, serve, build and influence in the marketplace is part of the mantle God entrusts to us. Through her MANTLE™ framework, she equips attendees to release fear, doubt and limitation and step into God-given authority with clarity and conviction.

  This message empowers professionals to integrate faith and work with integrity, recognizing that excellence, obedience and influence in the marketplace are not separate from purpose — they are expressions of it.

  Attendee Results:

  • Understand their work as a calling, not a compartment

  • Recognize seasons of stretching as preparation, not punishment

  • Lead with spiritual authority without striving or fear

  • Align faith, excellence, and influence in daily work

  • Carry their mantle faithfully in the marketplace and beyond

  Ideal for: faith-based conferences, church marketplace ministries, Christian professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders seeking to live out their calling at work.
